How much water hoya really need? 

Poor Hoyas staring desperately at that watering can. 😂

Watering - my favorite topic and yet somehow I rarely do it on time...

anytime i think im an "advanced hoya grower" i kill something. so im taking the summer school courses 😂😂🎉🎉❤❤

I think it’s hilarious that you’re starting with watering when most of your videos are usually about how you haven’t watered your hoyas in awhile. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 loving the boot camp videos!

this series is such a great idea and already so much fun!

20 seconds into the video and I'm already laughing and wishing Miro was my best friend!!!!

Glad you are going to Hoya’s For Beginners…I just got my 2nd Hoya. Thank you!

When I got my first Hoyas I was somehow under the impression that I needed to water them like succulents. Luckily I learned they needed more water before it was too late and they did much better when I started watering them more!

Such a good series, Miro! I two dislike the" taco test". I am having some Hoyas flowering for me for the first time and I do thank your guidance! Can't wait to watch the whole summer camp.

I've learned it's never a one sized fits all. Clay and sphagnum tend to dry out faster as opposed to ceramic and bark or leca or soil. Between what medium you use and what kind of pot - plus environment and everything else - sometimes ya gotta learn by experimenting and listening to your plant! 😊

This title made me laugh because I know you’re being factious. I’m trying self-watering too. I enjoy your show!

OMG… I am so here for catching Miro using AOL inches to gage his Hoya Compacta size.😂 Anyway ignore me and back to the Hoyas.

Every single video that you have posted and I have watched is so informative. I was having the wrinkled leaves after water issue. Now I know why and what to do.

Loving this beginners’ series! I’ve been developing my green thumb for a six months or so with gardening & unfussy houseplants in an attempt to grieve/ cope with difficult life circumstances by reconnecting with nature. I’ve recently fallen deep down the hoya rabbit hole. 🌱😍 And for the first time I have to cut myself off from buying plants. Lol. Starting off with Krimson queen & princess, compacta, coronaria, linearis, lacunosa, bella, and nummularioides… The depth of info on this channel is wonderful, and cannot get enough of the charming self-deprecating humor! Miro, thank you for being so welcoming to beginners! ❤ Regarding self-watering pots, it seems there are many types. Do you have thoughts on how to evaluate which type(s) might work best for particular Hoyas and/or how to DIY our own self-watering pot set-ups?

YAY!!! This summer camp is fun and I’m sooo excited for more!!!🎉💚🎉

These videos are very helpful! Thanks so much! New to hoya here! 💚💚💚

Great first boot camp first video Miro🎉

This is the best channel ever. Thank you!

Love, Love, Love. Thank you for this series. New Jersey, USA💕💕😍

Go Camp Miro!! ❤ this video and cannot wait for the next one 😍

😍🤩😘❤‍🔥Outstanding!

You're the best! 😍

Very helpful! Thank you!

This is a great series Miro. Knowing when to water is one of the biggest issues when you are a beginner. Thanks for the video. 🌱💚🌱

I love this camp, just in time for summer!! Also, just added a few more to my list…..😬💚💸

Love the short video format. I can retain the info much better. Thanks for sharing your tips.

New on the Hoya Bus 🚌 this is great information! Thanks for sharing!

You r hilarious!😂😂 Loved the vid💚 and i truly appreciate your watering insight as a beginner. Now i know what to do with my variegated compacta 🙌💯

I very much appreciate your summer camp! LOL! I'm still learning from my basic B Hoyas that survived my learning curve😂

This is the only camping I will ever do! Thanks for the info and leaving out the mosquitos. 😂 I’ve been contemplating pon and you just made me decide, especially after finding a few of my plants suffering yesterday. I chronically under water too and I may have to restart a couple.

Thank you Miro - just yesterday I watched one of your previous videos on Hoyas that need more water - it was very helpful as was this video.

Already loving your summer camps! Bought a book to take notes. I was a chronic overwaterer and then became an underwaterer, so now I'm trying to reach somewhere in the middle LOL

Love the clear plastic pots for watering. Was soooo easy to check roots, and gauge the lightness of the Hoya. Made the beautiful mistake of falling for these hand thrown terracotta pots for some of the larger plants and now it’s a nightmare to figure them out. Super light airy mix and porous heavy pots. 😫😂love the new series.. will be a fun summer!

I am not really a beginner, but still have SO MUCH to learn! Thank you for this series! Confession: I am an underwaterer 😮

When I first started a lot of people would say to wait until the leaves are wrinkled/foldable and that's really not great for a lot of hoyas! I recommend clear pots and checking every few days/week to see if there's still moisture and watering after. A lot of my hoyas would be a ton better if I had watered more often when I first started.

Agree with everything you said Miro! I keep my hoyas outside in shade throughout the summer, with some early morning sun and I usually water them every 2/3 days, if the days are very hot, but if it's cloudy and rainy I prolong the watering. They really enjoy the outside! Thanks for the series and can't wait for the next one! 💚

Love the summer camp for beginners! Fabulous idea. Long time follower, first time commenter. I’ve been collecting Hoya for about 5 years now. Personally I feel the material of the pot dictates the frequency of watering too. Most of mine are in terracotta as I am terrified of overwatering and they dry out so much faster than plastic or glazed ceramic. Definitely a challenge during summer or those that are on heat mats in winter. I am in NZ so in the midst off winter atm with zero degree nights and no central heating.

So many varieties of Hoya. How can one treat them all the same. So many variables too. Just by observation over time one figures it out. Love those clear pots where you can see root problems. Have watched all your videos and think you are the best

Love this! Can’t wait for next week. I just started transplanting/transferring? Idk mine to pon I hope I’m doing right thing

thats the best thing about hoyas is their ability to re root!!

Very helpful, especially since most my hoyas are still small cuttings 😊

I am getting a lot out of this series already! As a newbie I don't know the types you listed and I would love more images added to the video! Also im a visual learner (hella adhd) and rewinded like 4 times so that my brain could process things 😂 next time I'm taking notes lol

Loved this! Have you ever used a moisture meter? I usually use my finger to check or by lifting the pot to see how heavy it feels. Keep thinking I might be safer with a moisture meter. Lol thanks for this!!!

❤

Thank you this was so helpful. I’ve inherited two which I don’t know what to do with but we’re gifted to me. Both very large leaves one called an elephant hoya so hopefully I can keep them alive.

I have the royal Hawaiian, microdwarf, and Hoya Mathilde bottom watering works for me. I am waiting for Hoya Heuschkeliana and the Hoya Lacunosa Perangin Durian to arrive.

thanks for this video!! can you go over how to water in self watering pots, please?

I wanted to see you going around watering them 🤣🤣🤣🤣

💚🌱💚🌱💚

Hi Miro! I'm not a beginner, but also not an expert! I LOVE your videos! You are personally responsible for at least half my wishlist 😊 I'm self-watering pot curious, but firmly a soil-based gal (except with cuttings--I usually use water, stratum, or moss for that). Do you use self-watering pots with any organic medium? I'm also a chronic underwaterer [i think i got freaked out early about DON'T OVERWATER and went too far in the other direction 😅]. I dabbled in pon and leca, but I just don't want to mess with the chemicals/nutrients/whatever and such (does. not. spark. joy.). I'm afraid of just leaving them in self-watering with soil. I imagine a tragic mud situation in the bottom of the pot and it's scared me off up to now. But you're really selling the SWP situation. Also, do you Ph balance your water? (I don't because there are just so many, and, well, my adhd is chaos-style & it sounds like that takes the kind of foresight I was tragically born lacking!)

I’ve killed 3 Hoyas this week Miro. It’s Hoya graveyard. I only have a hoya macrophylla variegata left.

You have serious pronunciation skills!

I like to bottom water all my plants every week😁 I'm first

Your accent!! Are you from Portugal? 😃 great video!! Thank you!

Hi Miro 💫 Thank you so much for this video!!!! Out of all my Hoya my Compacta and Compacta Variegated keep turning this weird brown/ashy dead color and no matter what I do will not recover!!! Any help or advice would be appreciated. They are in an orchid mix which does fine for all my other Hoya and they all get watered once a week. I really love the Compacta and want to grow a successful one but at this point I’m over those. Please help!

NOT a veteran, but I think they want as much water as they can get provided the potting medium is very airy. All of mine are either in LECA or Pumice in some kind of Semi Hydro or Self Watering kinda deal. Constantly moist one way or another. Pumice has been the most forgiving medium for me so far, ,hands down. Thanks, Miro!

I noticed you watered your pots hanging on your wall grid. It looked like they were in cache pots and you went quickly from pot to pot. How do you know there isnt water left at the bottom of the pot? I would love to water like this because I take too long to water my plants. Any tips on more time efficient watering?

I am a beginner hoya mom. I actually feel very intimidated to even comment among all you pros. I only went back to being a plant parent after retiring two years ago. I had to move and down-size. My plant family has been cut back to only 33 plants. Only 14 are VERY basic (easy-going) Hoyas__mostly different carnosas [easy on the budget & easy on my disabilities]. They all seem very happy and continue to grow year-around (but no blooms yet). All are in my east facing-window, and I have grow lights for the darker months. *** Here's my question...I've been told by several people that after watering my Hoyas, to spray them directly with orchid foliar fertilizer. I only tried this a couple times this past month. No bad side-effects that I can see. They seem to still be thriving, but have you or any of your subscribers heard of doing this? Am I just being gullible and stupid...or do you think it may help them?

miro, do you have info on where you read that lasiantha and praetorii are the same? wondering if I should update my labels as Lasiantha FKA Praetorii

Wayettii and kentiana are different!!

Where did you get that watering thingy magingy?

What is the best way to keep Hoyas alive if I go on vacation for 2 weeks?

When using self watering pots how do you apply fertilizer?

Hi Miro, do you have any tips on growing a PNG SV441 please? It's a cutting rooted in pon, self watering, not doing anything, no growth. It's also on a heat mat under a light. Am I doing something wrong?

My self watering pots take FOREVER to dry out. What’s that about??

How do I know when I've moved from beginner to intermediate? Is there a specific number of hoya? 😏

Ah yes Miss Carnosa is currently relating to Wrinkled Leaves Symptom. oops 😱🌱

I’m a savage 😂

Ciao ti seguo dall'Italia puoi mettere sottotitoli in italiano nei tuoi video?🥰

I need someone to water my hoyas😅

Hindi in answer

Thank you for dissing the cringe-worthy taco test. I'm no expert, with only 3 years of collecting, but I knew early on that it was cruel to withhold water until your plant begs for a drink...

Miro! You forgot to talk about the wonderful pump sprayer! 🪴

I needed this motivation go water all of my hoyas today. They thank you.
